Looking for foodie inspo? Let us introduce Malin, the founder of Good Eatings blog. Malin is a girl crush of ours. She’s not only incredibly kind but also pretty nifty when it means getting behind the camera, we hope that this introduction turns you all into as much as a fan as we are…

We’ve noticed that you’ve caught the travel bug, what have you been up to?! Yes, I guess you could say that. I’ve been to five countries so far this year but am looking to settle down for a longer period soon so that’s really what’s on the cards at the moment. We (Rob and I) will probably settle somewhere in Sweden but it’s all up in the air and at the moment we’re enjoying the Scandinavian spring in Copenhagen which is beautiful and bustling.

You’re usually based in London, what’s your favourite part about living in the city? Actually I’ve just left London to find greener pastures elsewhere (pretty literally, haha). Living in London has been such an adventure for me and I guess you could say its where I grew up and learned to really deal with life and take care of myself. If you want a crash course in exactly those things I would say London is the place to go. Most of all though it’s a city with a high pulse that never sleeps which means there’s always things to see and do and that is something I’ve really appreciated about being there.

Can you recommend your top three restaurants? Hm. In London? I’ll go for in London. I recently visited Redemption Bar, an alcohol-free bar and vegan restaurant, on Old Street which was really great. I especially enjoyed the roasted sweet potato side dish with coconut yoghurt and pomegranate. A place that isn’t really a restaurant as such but that I really enjoy is #HOME on the second floor of Box Park which is actually the sister restaurant of Cook Daily that has been really popular in the vegan scene since it opened. At #HOME I love the Pad Thai, it really is one of the most satisfying dishes I know. Finally I will say 26 Grains with their selection of sweet and savoury porridges and my favourite here is the Asian black rice with mushrooms.

Your photography style is stunning. What camera do you use? Thanks guys! I usually use a SONY a7S or the more recent SONY a7R II which is actually more suitable for photography. Prior to the SONY craze I was usin a Canon 5D mark II.

To someone looking to pick up photography as a hobby, what advice would you give them? As a hobby I’d say that being creative is the most important factor and getting out there and practicing. Actually that’s really the basis of photography on all levels I guess. For the more technical side and using DSLR cameras it’s really important to know your camera and how to use it to get the results you want. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube for this of course or if you want to dig a little deeper I recommend the comprehensive book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.

We are hugely into chocolate, what’s your favourite sweet of choice? Chocolate is definitely number one on my list too!

What’s your favourite type of cuisine?This is a really hard one. I love all cuisines coming out of Asia and with that said I will have to say Japanese food. For now, haha.

On the weekend, what do you typically get up to? Every Saturday I post on my blog and after that I like to go to markets, explore museums/galleries and go to cafes for lunch before I head home to snuggle on the couch in front of my favourite series, at the moment that is Better Call Saul. I like to continue on the same path, doing similar things, on Sunday but to end the week I like to do a little planning and organising and I often clean up the mess I’ve created over the weekend so that I can start the new week without clutter.

What makes you the happiest of all? Feeling connected to myself and my journey in life as well as feeling that I’m also connected to the people around me, my immediate surroundings and the universe at large. This might sound rather airy fairy and maybe it is but it’s really true and making lifestyle choices based on a search for how I can create connection this way has helped me a lot. For me being vegan is one of those things that really has opened my eyes to the world and encouraged me to make inquiries into what I want to support and not and what belongs in my life and what doesn’t.
